Docassemble is a free and open-source platform for creating web-based interviews that create documents, powered by Python, YAML, and Markdown.
In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Docassemble on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS through a step-by-step process.
Docassemble requires Docker to be installed on the system. Fedora CoreOS has Docker pre-installed, so you can skip this step if Docker is already installed.
To verify the installation, run the following command:
sudo docker --version
If Docker is installed, you will see the version of Docker installed.
We will now create a Docker network that will be used by Docassemble containers to communicate with each other.
To create a new Docker network, execute the following command:
sudo docker network create docassemble_network
This command will create a new Docker network named docassemble_network.
The next step is to pull the Docassemble image from the Docker Hub repository.
To pull the latest Docassemble image, execute the following command:
sudo docker pull docassemble/docassemble:latest
We will now create a new Docassemble container using the docassemble/docassemble image.
The following command will create a new Docassemble container named docassemble:
sudo docker run -d --name docassemble --restart=always --network=docassemble_network docassemble/docassemble:latest
This command will start the Docassemble container in the background and will be restarted automatically if the system restarts.
You can now access the Docassemble web interface by opening your web browser and entering the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS server followed by :8080, for example, http://192.168.1.10:8080.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Docassemble on Fedora CoreOS. You can now start creating your web-based interviews and documents using Docassemble.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
